Where once stood a proud and mighty hilarious comedy with Charlie Sheen now stands a terrible pile of garbage with Ashton Kutcher. If they had simply traded actors and kept the writing it would have been excellent, but does anyone else get the feeling that the writers left with sheen? Or it might be the fact that Charlie knew how to act in TV shows as where kutcher... well come to think of it where was he a good actor because in all the movies I remember him in he's always this really dumb guy who just walks around clueless. Perhaps he figured that would work on shows too, it didn't. Being a slacker in your movie carrier doesn't give you license to be an idiot in a beloved series, but thanks for ruining that for us well done producers you just firebombed a good show. 1/10 since season 9.
The writers should have been fired. They made Charlie a drunk that was funny and now they made the "New "two and a half men just sucked. It was painful to watch. It was not funny at all. Our whole family hated it. Will not be watching your show any more. Do not blame Charlie for what your writers made him. So the only people that lose here are the cast and the only winner is no one because we lose a good show. Ask Charlie really nice to come back and maybe you will get back your good reviews. Making him a drunk that looked for whores was done by your writers not him. He just took the role beyond the TV screen. Which really helped out your ratings. But now you have nothing but a mess on YOUR writers hands.
10/10 with charlie 1/10 without him....
its like taking the motor out of a lamborghini and replace it with 2
pedals for the driver. its not a lamborghini anymore. face it.
the whole concept of the show is based on charlies character. it makes
absolutely no sense to continue without him. the only reason they do,
they want the money so hard, since two and a half men was the most
successful TV show. a lot of people say sheen went crazy, i say:
charlie was right when he flipped out and offended the producers. it
doesn't look like they love what they do, they just love the money. he
wants double the money? pay him and get him back, only way to rescue a
sinking boat. the show will be cancelled soon, if they continue like
this.
This show flat rocks!
Charlie Sheen has a reputation for being a wild child, John Cryer plays
the
perfect neurotic boob, and the writers play perfectly into the
juxtaposition
of the two. Toss in a juvenile (Angus Jones, aka Jake) and the scenes
become flat hilarious, as the adults attempt to deal with often raunchy
mature topics, while keeping the kid in the dark.
This show has some of the best creative writing I've seen in years. No
clichéd 'dumbed-down for the masses' or hackneyed pratfalls here, all are
setup and timed with perfect execution by the players. Some of the
darkest,
driest and quick-witted performances on TV in years, very reminiscent of
the
quirkiness and off-the-cuff repartee of Woody, Norm, et.al. on Cheers.
One
of the best original laughs on TV these days, hope it survives for a long
time! A real treat, amidst all the dumbed down humor that's seems to
prevail everywhere else.

The show was awesome with Sheen. Without him, it's done.
Watching the first episode of the latest season, I would say that they
couldn't have done much more to completely destroy the show. They
brought in a completely different type of personality, one that I
personally have no interest in.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Ashton Kutcher or his acting
but he simply doesn't fit in this role. They should have tried to work
things out with sheen or they could have just cut their losses and
canceled the show.
Would they really expect any of the old fans to keep watching this?
I love this show. It's funny, bright, irreverent, and like nothing else
on the tube these days. Charlie Sheen was an excellent save in SPIN
CITY, but he's perfectly cast as the lazy, womanizing single guy who
writes ad jingles for a living, and whose space is invaded by his nerdy
brother, Jonathan Cryer, and his ten-year-old son, Angus T. Jones.
While Sheen does warm up to his nephew, he's doesn't turn all
saccharine and start acting like an uncle should.
Instead, he's a wonderfully corrupting influence and the two of them
often collude against the father. I've only seen one posting about
Melanie Lynskey's brilliant turn as the female stalker who is always
looking through Charlie's deck door. It's about as funny a regular gag
as Carlton the doorman on the old Rhoda show and Candace Bergin's
endless line of incompetent secretaries. She's adorable and makes the
character both hilarious and creepy. Well done.
Holland Taylor is perfect as the insufferable mother both sons love to
resent. Her self-involvement is hilarious. The name of the splendid
comic actress playing Sheen's housekeeper is Conchata Ferrell, a
veteran of TV sitcoms (Hotl Baltimore). It's wonderful to see her back
in action.
Favorite episode was the return of an ex-flame of Charlie's. Only she
is now a he, having had a sex-change operation. When it's discovered
that "he" has spent the night with Charlie's mom, I could barely
contain myself. I was hysterical with laughter. Then Conchata Ferrell's
bit as the housekeeper who begs Charlie, offering him free housekeeping
for a month, if she can be there to witness his telling his mother that
the he was formerly a she! Priceless.
Wonderful cast. Wonderful, crisp writing and well-observed situations.
This one has all the hallmarks of a sitcom classic and I hope it runs
for years. I was never much of a Charlie Sheen admirer, but he's
evolved into a first-rate comic actor and he leads this first-rate
ensemble with low-key charm and expert delivery.
This show has more laughs per minute than any other sit com. I have not laughed as often or as intensely because of any TV show in decades. The casting and acting is superb and the writing creative and hilarious. If you don't laugh at this show, sell your television and see a doctor, because something ain't right. The characters are diverse and quirky, the subjects always seem to push the limits without offending, and I only wish the show was on more than once a week. It's the kind of show where the actors must go home, collect their checks and wonder why they are paid so much for doing something they enjoy so much. I envy them, we should all be so fortunate in doing something that brings this level of humor into the lives of others. For this I extend my sincere appreciation to the cast, writers, directors and producers.

I just watched episode one of the new season. None of it made sense. Why would Charlie marry Rose? Why would Rose push him in front of a train? Why would a stranger buy Charlies beach house and allow Alan, Jake AND Berta to stay???????? The question of why lingers, the quality of the show has taken a huge hit. Ashton Kutcher just plain doesn't fit, it's like taking a jigsaw puzzle piece that doesn't fit and trying to jam it into place, it won't work, and neither will Mr Kutcher. My wife and I have watched this series from day one.....that all stops now. It seems that Mr Lorre has lost his way, sure Charlie Sheen was a pain in the proverbial a....you know, but he was a vital piece to the puzzle, Mr Lorre should suck it up and bring him back. The only other option really is too cancel the show. Sure they could continue on with this sham, but the ratings will go down, week one everyone tuned in too see the circus, now that the circus is over, who will return to watch it again...not us.
I love this show! It's an amazing mix of dirty humour and amusing 'real
life' situations. It's very enjoyable for a laugh and some fun!
The entire show appears to be dedicated to making the audience laugh at
the character's dilemmas and it is very amusing to see how everyone's
situation entwines and makes into a large but hilarious plot!
The entire cast is very amusing and their voices, attitudes,
appearances and body language portray their characters to their full
potential.
I DEFINITELY recommend that you watch this show. At least watch several
episodes to get a taste of it. I can almost definitely guarantee you'll
be hooked!
It went from my favorite show on television to my not watching it
anymore after the first new episode. Gratuitous nudity, bad
chemistry....need I go on?
Now, I like Ashton Kutcher, he is just in an untenable position trying
to replace the genius of Charlie Sheen, as well as, the character of
Charlie Harper.
The interaction between Charlie, Alan, Jake, Berta, Evelyn, and all the
other regulars cannot be recreated. It just doesn't work for me without
the chemistry that was there prior to this season.
I don't approve or disapprove of Charlie Sheen's personal lifestyle.
But, the show was HIS and his alone. He is irreplaceable.
Please find Charlie alive and living in Encino...
Bring him back.
